I dumped the dudes in Everett for the same reason and now I strictly use RiverSide. I don't think you will be unhappy with them. Gary is a top notch guy. :tup:

Don't forget to check out the Alpine (I think) bows, there was one I tried when I was looking that shot and felt great, just didn't like the looks of it, and the price was pretty good.  Their service is good.

Great people :tup: but I would call before heading up to make sure he has the inventory your looking for.  He could be a little short on bows hanging on the rack .  New bows are about to come out and after early archery pickings could be a little skinny.

Highly recommend Riverside :tup:

They do a great job AND they support the 2 clubs close by. They are always there for Silver Arrow Bowmen (mt vernon) and Whidby island.  You can never go wrong supporting shops that support your sport.  :twocents:

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I bought my Hoyt there, and April bought her Matthews there also.  No regrets at all, thy did a great job setting up the bows and helping us manage what accessories would work best for our applications.  I also had a good friend custom order her bow through them, and she has been thrilled with the end product.

I would for sure recommend them!   :tup:
